I found this related message:
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ippm/rHZSjVgNre5ewJ4PcDWNdLq3e4k

Originally the draft was Informational, but its status was changed to
Experimental since it was proposed to align it with the status of the
somewhat related RFC 7821. The reason for RFC 7821 being Experimental was
due to the fact that it relied on NTP extension fields, which were not
commonly used at the time (this is gradually changing, by the way).

Cheers,
Tal.
